Who doesn't want free money? College scholarships are financial awards that you receive based on your merit, circumstance or need. You typically need to apply for scholarships and write a scholarship essay, though some college financial aid offices automatically award qualified students money.

Search for scholarships from your or your parents' employers, through your high school counselor's office, through online contests (like Next Step Magazine's Win Free College Tuition contest!), or through clubs in which you're involved. Keep your eyes open for any college scholarship services that you can use. Every little bit of free money helps!
